BICS - Read only user, how to refresh data in report

Question

Summary

Content

We are demonstrating to a top 10 pharmaceutical company the ability to send data from the Oracle mHealth Connector to BICS. We created a separate BICS account for users with limited privileges (read only privileges) to view the reports. The read only user we have created in BICS  belongs to a custom Application role we have created in BICS which has no other roles or application roles assigned to itself. After creating this user with the BI Cloud Service User role, the Canvas Settings drop down is no longer available. And thus the "Refresh Data" option is not available to the read only user.

Is there a way a read only user can refresh the data in the report?

Thank you

I have the same question. I don't have this problem in Answers reports but only in visual analyzer reports in BICS.

Any help on this topic will be appreciated.
